| What are the Best FM tuners? I have an Audio Horizon modded H/K Citation Eighteen tuner that I'm absolutely enamored with. I just hope that standard FM broadcasting will be around for awhile longer. (O: | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Yes, the source, although the pre to amp interconnect is very important as well. I like the old saying, " A chain is only as strong as its weakest link". (O: | |
| Anyone listened to the 50th Ann Shuguang KT-88 Wow! I just bought a nice quad from him about a month ago and at that time he had quite a few quads left. They sure did sell quickly! (O: | |
| Anyone listened to the 50th Ann Shuguang KT-88 If you're in the market for some Shuguang(Penta Labs version)KT88SC(solid plate) then contact Doug at Doug's Tubes. He has a secret stash of them available. www.dougstubes.com | |

| Hovland caps VS Auricaps There is a formula for determining what roll-off point you want for your bass. I'll try to do a search later to give it to you. Besides the input impedance of your amp, which in your case is high at 145K ohms, you'll also need the output impedance... | |
| Hovland caps VS Auricaps Allow those Hovland caps 140 hours or so of break-in. The bass will flesh out much more after then. You'll hear gradual improvements after 50 hours. The Hovlands seem to take longer to break in than the Auricaps. Personally I prefer the Hovlands i... | |
| Review: Allan Maher Power Enhancer AC filter Ozzy, I don't doubt you that the PE devices didn't work out in your system. I just read your review, though, and initially you appeared to have liked them in your system. As Tvad stated, what works in someone's system might not work in another's.... | |
| Review: Allan Maher Power Enhancer AC filter "Sometimes, a product doesn't shine in a given home/system. It's not always the end user's fault, which seems to be the AM party line." Quite possible. There are so many variables in one's own home AC power network as well as in their system. Th... | |
| Review: Allan Maher Power Enhancer AC filter The Alan Maher PE (Power Enhancer) needs to be placed very precisely throughout your home. They are particularly sensitive in the series mode( that is, before your system power). If in parallel mode( after your system), they might or might not mak... | |
| VAC owners, sound off Tholt, Also, keep in mind, whatever vintage VAC preamp you are looking at, make sure that its output impedance matches well with the input impedance of your amp/s. This is a very important parameter to match up front in helping you to make your de... | |
| VAC owners, sound off I recently shipped my VAC Musicblocs back to the VAC factory via Fedex ground for service and upgrade. Even though I packed the amps better than shipped from the factory, the gentle-handed folks at Fedex managed to crack open one of the transforme... | |

| some 70's and 80's receivers seem to be popular If you do find a good-sounding vintage receiver, i.e Marantz 22xx series, if it is original and never been serviced, I highly recommend you take it to a good Tech and have them upgrade(replace) certain caps and give it a thorough cleaning and benc... | |
| some 70's and 80's receivers seem to be popular That harsh, bright and "listener's fatigue syndrome" effect came about when the Japanese starting using lots of negative feedback to further lower the distortion figures. It seems that during the 70's and 80's there was a competitive factor involv... |
